Easter Triduum Craft ~ Spinning Paper Plate

Here is a craft that I thought up and did with my younger kids as a quick fun afternoon project. It's a fun craft to explain the Easter Triduum. The plate spins to reveal the days of the Triduum until Easter. It also has the Bible verse from John 2:19, where Jesus spoke of his Resurrection, pasted on it.

Have the kids glue on the Bible verse above the opening in the top paper plate. Now starting with Holy Thursday add the Triduum days. Try to keep them close to the bottom of the paper plate. Spin the plate, when you cover the one you just glued, glue on the next one.

Thanks for your question, Jenn. The Triduum only refers to the days before Easter. It doesn't actually include Easter. So it is only three days, I just added Easter so the kids could see the joyful side to the death of Jesus. Hope that helps! God Bless!
